• [00:35] We still blog, but we try not to spend money on it.
• [01:15] You can’t please everyone with one format, which is why it is important to blog.
• [01:21] Blogs still generate more traffic from a Google search.
• [01:40] Podcasting only gets good traffic for the first 30 days.

• [02:35] People are able to find you more organically.
• [03:00] In general, the answer is yes, but that doesn’t mean you need to create thousands of blog posts.
• [03:45] If you’re going to blog, write about new, fresh ideas.
